This week has been great!! Here are my Top 5 adventures from this week!

1. Okay so you know how when I was little Crème Savers were my
favorite and I have recently been searching for them and haven't been
able to find them? Well anyways we  were at the store the other day in
the candy aisle and I decided to look for them and lo and behold they
had them!!! And the bags were on sell for 10 for 10 so I legit bought
every single bad they had! haha I know I am crazy, I will send a bag
or too home so you can share in the excitement. I was so happy that
they weren't extinct oh my lanta they are sooo good!!!

2. On Thursday we got to go with a few members of our branch and clean
the Nauvoo Temple!! It was so cool! We cleaned the sealing rooms and
vacuumed the endowment rooms it was awesome. And we got to do a
session right before that so double awesome! Man we had a great time!

3.Last PDay we went bowling with our District and it was so fun! We
all pretty much are equally bad at it but yes I did get a strike so
that was great. It was just a fun day!

4. We had a great lesson with our investigator Brandon. We were
teaching him the plan of salvation and had planned to talk to him
about quitting smoking. So were teaching him and he's telling us that
he really wants to be baptized and he knows that what we are teaching
him is true so were super excited. So anyways my companion started to
wrap up and I was like no! we need to ask him to quit smoking so I was
like, Brandon we are so excited that you want to be baptized and that
you know that this gospel is true but I'm gonna be straight with you,
we need to be following the commandments before we are baptized and
one of those is the word of wisdom. I simply summarized the word of
wisdom and told him that he needs to quit smoking. He paused for a
second and I was like this is it, he is gonna drop us. Then he was
like Ok if that's what it takes I'll quit.  Oh my lanta we were so
excited! Such a huge blessing! Man it was great!

 5. Creatures of Iowa. We see a lot of animals here. Its crazy. So far
we have seen countless squirrels and bunnies, a fox, a frog, and a
snake. Plus tons of dead possums on the side of the road. Its
ridiculous how much wildlife you see in small towns like this. I love
it.

So yeah that's this week. Everything is great. Our investigators are
great. We have 13 investigators this week and 5 of them are Spanish
speaking so that is awesome. 2 of them have dates to be baptized. We
are really blessed right now and have a fantastic area! Even though
the people kind of gross me out I just love them all. Mission life is
the best!!!!
Love and miss you all!! until next time...xoxoxo Ash
